Using the past

This volume shows how history can enrich our understanding of current issues of hospital infection control, including AMR, and inform perspectives on the future. For example, while efforts to develop new classes of antimicrobial drugs are undoubtedly important, they should not overshadow the financial, personnel and governance methods necessary to maintain high standards of infection control in the hospital environment, which have proven successful in recent years. The essays in this volume have shown the value historical understandings of the past can bring to modern day concerns, as well as the ways history has been misused to justify the notion of ‘progress’.
